Description

In the Mid 1950’s Northern Rhodesia, Angie is devoted to Prophetess Alice Lenshina. She dreams of a country where women take their rightful place as leaders. A world where everyone is treated fairly. Luka, her husband, fights for equality and justice in a segregated society. His love for Angie is rivalled only by her daughter’s. But the colony churns in turbulent times. A Federation between Rhodesia and Nyasaland has formed, and the African majority fear apartheid from the South will grip them. Forever. Will Angie and Luka’s love survive the struggle? Even if the Stars Should Fall is an intimate portrait of a family from an era since erased. A story about the triumph of great love when caught in the crossfire of religion and politics, colonisation and freedom.
